NASA has set the interwebs a-tremble with a teasing announcement to the global media that a news conference will be held in Washington DC on Thursday "to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life". The space agency's routine ploy of trailing major briefings in advance has caused trouble before. In 2008, "revelations" that the White House had been informed of a NASA announcement's content before the media caused fevered speculation ahead of a briefing on data from the "Phoenix" polar Mars lander.

I don’t shop there anymore, prices are too high. Ex-wife loved to dump the budget there though.
“Ack!,,,, Ack Ack!”
I know the green lady. That’s Susan Oliver. I dated her back in the early 70’s. She passed away in 1990 from lung cancer. Her mother, Ruth, was a well known Hollywood astrologer. I was dating my future wife at the same time. She was insanely jealous.
I was an agent for a publishing company at the time. We published several of her mothers books. That’s how I met Susan. Really nice lady.
How does one obtain a publishing agent?
The whole process takes time and a very thick skin. Just keep at it. If it's something that deserves to be published you'll eventually find a publisher. Stay away from the major publishing houses. They will not even touch a manuscript that doesn't come from an agent they already work with.
Unless you have something really outstanding, be prepared for many, many rejection slips. If you find someone who will take the time to offer criticism, listen to it. They know what they're talking about. Just put your ego in a #10 paper sack and go for it.
Hope this has been of some help.
Not even, but thanks.
Sorry. But that’s just the way it works.
God bless.
The lunacy increases exponentially.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that’s the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space,
‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.
